Hi all,
I am an experienced programmer trying to learn Java. I have a very simple applet that I cannot get to run for some reason. Please see the code below:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class BLinkJVerCheck extends Applet
{
private Label m_labVersionVendor;
public void init()
{
Color colFrameBackground = Color.pink;
this.setBackground(colFrameBackground);
m_labVersionVendor = new Label (" Java Version: " +
System.getProperty("java.version") +
" from "+System.getProperty("java.vendor"));
this.add(m_labVersionVendor);
}
}

As you can see, this a pretty simple, straight forward applet, but for some reason when I attempt to run it on a web page, I get the following error (when I put the mouse on top of the square the applet is supposed to draw):

load: class BLinkJVerCheck not found

The tag on the web page:

The applet file IS sitting in the same folder as the web page that calls it. When I compile the applet, everything goes ok, I get no errors and the class file is generated.

Any ideas....???... I always found Java annoying, and now that I finally want to make the move, I cannot get a stupid applet to work... please HELP!

Thank you in advance!

I am a student in Java and I dont have that much experience of applets but you could try this to see if it works.

Hi,
There is an error in your tag:

Replace with:

Error:
if you put BLinkJVerCheck.class it takes it like

Class class in a package BLinkJVerCheck --> Which obviously is not the case here.

Also, the applet tag does not work like regular XML tags.

Regards,
Abrar
